In a phone conversation, the Israeli prime minister told the U.S. president that Israel would retain freedom to act against threats in all arenas, including Lebanon, as Washington and Tehran pursue a developing agreement.

Media reporting in recent days highlighted a strategic split: the U.S. leans toward diplomacy while Netanyahu reportedly favors renewed military action against Iran.

The U.S. was briefing Israel on Iran negotiations, with Trump demanding the dismantling of Iran’s nuclear program and removal of all enriched uranium before any final deal.

Gulf nations and mediators signaled progress toward a possible diplomatic framework with Iran, while indicating that failure could prompt a return to aggressive options.

Iran’s Fars News Agency published a draft agreement in which the U.S. and allies would refrain from attacking Iran or its proxies in exchange for Iran pledging not to launch preemptive strikes.

A parallel draft described the same non-aggression pledge by the U.S. and its allies in return for Iran’s restraint on preemptive attacks.

A potential framework under discussion includes a letter of intent to end the war and start a 30‑day negotiation window covering nuclear issues and the Strait of Hormuz.

Trump said he had delayed strikes on Iran after regional mediators advised caution, suggesting a deal could be possible if the right assurances are provided; otherwise, the threat of war remains.

Efforts were underway to finalize a framework to end the Middle East conflict, with talk that nuclear issues might be postponed to secure broader concessions.

The emerging framework was described as potentially offering limited concessions—such as sanctions relief and control over nuclear activities—in exchange for Iran halting aggression and agreeing to a nuclear rollback.

Both sides reportedly aim for a durable settlement to end the regional conflict, while some media suggested the nuclear question could be debated later.

Background discussions include a 14‑point plan involving access to frozen assets in exchange for ending nuclear ambitions, alongside past covert actions and alleged Iranian internal plots.
